Challenge
Hey fellow Prosers! So my birthday is coming up and I am super excited! It's also got me thinking about age and how we all perceive it in different ways. So here's the challenge: write a poem about how we as a society view age or coming of age. Have fun and get writing! :)
Generation Nothing
Generation Nothing.
They tell us we’re frauds for having our own ideas.
Young is equal to brainless.
Individuality is seen as rebellion.
We’re trying to be “different.”
We’re trying to be “right.”
Why is that a problem?
We’re taking over the world you’re leaving behind.
We’re molding it into our own place.
We decide the future.
Your reign is ending.
One day, you’ll all have passed on, and the world will be filled buy us,
And our dreams of grandeur won’t have been illusions.
But if you keep it up,
All of our plans will be destroyed by our own insecurities.
Because you treat us like we’re useless.
You treat us like we’re nothing.
So we start to believe that we really are nothing.
Generation Nothing.
